Discover the strength and advantages of Samba

"Samba" is one of SerNet's main fields of activity - be it development, support, providing the SAMBA+ packages or organizing conferences. The open source SMB implementation is developed by an international community (see also Samba Team) committed to the highest technological standards and free software principles. Samba has been available since 1992 and is used by many storage OEMs, often going back decades.

In a two-part article available at samba.plus, we've compiled a variety of strengths and benefits that make Samba what it is: a highly reliable SMB stack that continues to evolve. Part One "Strength and Advantages of Samba" takes a look at some of the organizational, technical, and conceptual issues that are often discussed. Part Two "Technical milestones and improvements on the horizon" discusses exactly that: technical milestones and emerging advances. We highlight important Samba contributions that SerNet's Samba team developers - Volker Lendecke, Stefan Metzmacher and Ralph Böhme - are still working on.
